Suffering From Heartburn or Acid Reflux?

Suffering from Reflux or Heartburn?

If heartburn or acid reflux medications are not relieving your symptoms of chronic acid reflux, then the TIF procedure may provide the long-term relief of the disease. A new incisionless solution is now available to relieve symptoms of GERD, or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. The TIF procedure, or Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication, corrects the anatomical cause of GERD by surgically reconstructing the natural valve that stops acid from coming up into the esophagus.

Heartburn is the most common symptom but you may also experience:

Hoarseness or sore throat

Excessive clearing of the throat

Frequent swallowing

Chronic cough

Asthma or asthma-like symptoms

Burning in the mouth or nose

Pain or discomfort in the chest

Intolerance to certain foods

Yellow fluid or pillow stains after sleep

Dental erosions or therapy resistant gum disease or inflammation
